hey guys it's that time again, adjusting the valves on my Y7, their knockin' pretty hard. The only problems is that last time I did this it was on my 88 CRX sir, and the next day I blow the head. I'm gonna try one more time, plus this will give me a good reason to my wife for the mini me.. n e ways question is can i use the same size feeler for both sides of the valves, and what size would that be and yes this time I have the proper tools to do this thanks....

 

check your a shop manual, or maybe the autozone website might have them, but i'm pretty sure its not the same for bothe intake and exhaust.

 

yeah , i have never seen to give the same size for both sides.. check workshop manual..

 

SOHC =

.007-.009" intake

.009-.011" exhaust

Personally I run .005" intake/.006" exhaust

 

Ha, Just adjusted my valves yesterday. I set the same valve lash... Thought I was original...

 

why so tight?

 

Make sure engine is hot...lash will get tighter if you adjust cold.

 

Get the full lobe from the cam ...and less noise lol.

 

just alittle more lift and duration.........

way back when I got 118 whp from a 102 chp motor, partly due to the A6 cam and tight lash.

Idle is a mother ****** though, MAP not happy with that lope
